Differentiation: 20.8 x 22.1 cm vs 15 x 15 cm
Patissland offers two sizes of FunCakes Bento Boxes to fit all individual cake sizes. Here's how to choose the right size:
| Size | Cake compatibility | Preferred use |
|---|---|---|
| Bento 20.8 x 22.1 cm (this product) | Round 15 cm or square 15x15 cm | Bento cake "standard" for 2 to 3 people, the most requested size in pastry |
| Bento 15 x 15 cm | Round 10 cm or square 10x10 cm | Mini bento cake "individual" for 1 person, ultra-cute Valentine's Day size |
Our recommendation for professional pastry chefs: keep both sizes in stock to meet all client requests. The 20.8 x 22.1 cm size covers most orders (couple birthdays, Valentine's Day for 2, marriage proposals), while the 15 x 15 cm size corresponds to "individual sized" personal gift orders.
Main professional applications
The Bento Box 20.8 x 22.1 cm meets 6 major categories of professional and personal uses:
- Custom order bento cake: reference size for the trendy Korean bento cake pastry with handwritten message and minimalist piping decoration
- Valentine's Day and romantic events: presentation of a heart or round cake with personalized decoration for an emotional gift to offer
- Mini birthday cake: individual size for 2 to 3 people, perfect for intimate birthdays or office celebrations
- Marriage proposal: premium support for a personalized cake with "Will you marry me?" written in buttercream
- Boutique pastry: showcase presentation of mini creations sold individually with neat packaging finish
- Corporate gift: premium packaging for logoed cakes to offer to clients or employees during corporate events
To perfect the presentation, pair your box with the FunCakes 30 x 30 cm parchment paper that lines the inside of the box and protects the cake from direct contact with the cardboard.
Korean bento cake trend: why this box?
The bento cake, also called Korean bento cake or lunchbox cake, originated in South Korea in the early 2020s. Inspired by traditional Japanese bento boxes, this mini cake about 10 to 15 cm in diameter went viral on Instagram and TikTok thanks to 3 strong features:
- Individual or for 2 people format: an alternative to large family cakes, in line with current consumption trends (couples, singles, small events)
- Personalized minimalist decoration: handwritten message with a piping bag, buttercream flowers, hearts, stars, first names, declarations
- Premium box presentation: the box is an integral part of the gift; the recipient opens it like a precious present, creating a strong emotional moment that is photographed and shared
This FunCakes Bento Box 20.8 x 22.1 cm is sized for 15 cm bento cakes, a format that has become the standard reference in premium pastry shops. The clean white cardboard serves as a "blank canvas" for customization by the pastry chef or the final customer.

Customization and presentation
The smooth and neutral surface of the FunCakes white Bento Box makes it an ideal customization base for pastry chefs who want to highlight their brand identity or personalize the client gift:
- Stickers and decals: apply your logo, the recipient's first name, or an event message (wedding, birthday, birth)
- Satin or raffia ribbons: wrap the box with a theme-colored ribbon for a premium gift effect
- Handwritten labels: add a kraft or colored label with a personalized handwritten message
- Custom stamps: stamp your pastry logo for a recognizable professional signature
- Decorative liners: line the inside of the box with a decorative sheet to add a graphic touch when opening
For interior decoration, discover the Simply Making spring flower sheets or the Baking Fun sheets that add a premium graphic touch inside the box.
Optimal storage and use
To preserve the qualities of the FunCakes Bento Box and ensure a flawless presentation to the customer:
- Storage: store flat in a dry place, protected from humidity and extreme temperatures (ideal between 15 and 25°C)
- Assembly: the box folds in seconds, without adhesive tape or staples, delivered flat to optimize storage space
- Cake preservation: always use parchment paper at the bottom of the box to avoid direct contact between the cake and the cardboard
- Refrigerator storage: the box withstands cold room or refrigerator storage thanks to its food-grade cardboard (maximum recommended duration: 48 hours)
- Recyclability: 100% recyclable cardboard to be disposed of in selective recycling after use
Pro tip: for home deliveries in hot seasons, use an insulated pouch over the box. The cardboard alone does not protect against thermal shock, which can melt buttercreams and frostings on long trips.
